This document describes how to install a server for the Natural Web I/O Interface (product code NWO) under the runtime environment SMARTS on z/VSE.
The installation of the Web I/O Interface server is performed by
installation jobs. The sample jobs are contained in the data set
NWOvrs.LIBJ, or generated by System
Maintenance Aid (SMA).
The following topics are covered:
When used in this documentation, the notation vrs or vr represents the relevant product version (see also Version in the Glossary).
For details, refer to the section Prerequisites.
The installation medium contains the data sets listed in the table below. The sequence of the data sets and the number of library blocks needed are shown in the Software AG Product Delivery Report, which accompanies the installation medium.
| Data Set Name | Contents |
|---|---|
APSvrs.LIBR |
Contains the load modules of the SMARTS server. |
NWOvrs.LIBR |
Contains the load modules of the Web I/O Interface server. See Web I/O Interface Server Concept and Structure. |
NWOvrs.LIBJ |
Contains Installation Job Control for customers who install without using System Maintenance Aid. |
(Job I009, Step 9400)
Define sublibrary for NWO environment.
(Job I009, Step 9410)
Catalogs the configuration file of the Web I/O Interface server. For a description of the parameters, refer to Configuring the Natural Web I/O Interface Server.
The following parameters of the configuration file must be defined. For the other parameters, the default values may be used:
FRONTEND_NAME |
Specify the name of the server front-end module you will create in one of the following steps. |
PORT_NUMBER |
Specify the TCP/IP port number under which the server can be connected. |
(Job I009, Step 9420)
Catalogs the configuration file SYSPARM for
SMARTS.
For detailed information on the SMARTS configuration file, see Configuration of the SMARTS Environment in the SMARTS documentation.
(Job I009, Step 9430)
Create dummy member for NWO.
(Job I054, Step 9410)
The NWO object modules must be linked with the necessary runtime extensions of your batch installations into executable load modules.
Job I055, Step 9401, assemble and link reentrant
ADALNK phase.
The server environment requires a reentrant ADALNK
phase.
Link ADALNK using the ADALNKR
module.
Job I055, Step 9410, assemble and catalog the
NCFNWOPM module.
(Job I060, Steps 9410, 9420)
Job I060, Step 9410, assemble and catalog the Natural parameter module for NWO.
Job I060, Step 9420, link the NWO front-end.
(Job I200, Step 9415)
Extend your SMARTS startup job by NWO-specific definitions described in the section Configuring the Natural Web I/O Interface Server.

If Natural Security (NSC) is installed:
The Web I/O Interface initial user ID (default ID is
STARGATE) must be defined in Natural Security with a valid default
library. Refer also to Web I/O Interface server configuration parameter
INITIAL_USERID in
the section Configuring the Natural Web
I/O Interface Server. Alternatively, you can specify the
Natural profile parameter AUTO=OFF (automatic logon) for
the Web I/O Interface.
Each client user ID must be defined in Natural Security.
If the Web I/O Interface initial user ID is not defined, the Web I/O Interface server initialization aborts with a NAT0856 error message.
If a Web I/O Interface client is not defined, the Map Environment dialog returns an NSC error.
If you connect to the server from a Web I/O Interface client, make sure that the user who is defined in Natural Security has a default library or a private library defined. Otherwise, the error message NAT0815 will be displayed.
If you configure the Web I/O Interface server to use an external
security system (see Web I/O Interface server configuration parameter
SECURITY_MODE), the
Web I/O Interface clients must be defined to the external security system.
The Natural server uses the SMARTS portable file system (PFS) as a data container for Natural work files, print files, temporary sort files and the editor work file. The SMARTS PFS is the only storage medium available for those files under SMARTS.
In order to be able to use the PFS for Natural files, you have to configure Natural accordingly:
For work or print files, specify the access method
AM=SMARTS, using the Natural profile parameters
WORK and/or PRINT.
For temporary sort files, specify the type of storage medium
STORAGE=SMARTS, using the Natural profile parameter
SORT.
And to allocate the editor work file in the PFS, specify the
work file mode FMODE=SM, using the Natural profile parameter
EDBP.
If you use one of these options, you have to configure your SMARTS to use a PFS.
Allocate a z/VSE file
(LRECL=4096) with the estimated size (the
file must start at cylinder boundary) to store your PFS, and completely
initialize the container to contain x'00's.
The initialization can be done using the following job (runs until no more extents are available in the file and requires extra operator intervention to continue the job after the WTOR message for the extent overflow):
// JOB PFSFMT // OPTION NODUMP // DLBL CMWKF01,'your.pfs.file.name',0,SD // EXTENT SYS001,volume,... // ASSGN SYS001,DISK,VOL=volume,SHR // ASSGN SYS000,READER // UPSI 00000011 // LIBDEF PHASE,SEARCH=(SAGLIB.NATvrs) // EXEC NATBATvr,SIZE=AUTO,PARM='SYSRDR' IM=D,MADIO=0,MT=0,OBJIN=R,ID=',',INTENS=1, WORK=((1),AM=STD,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=4096,LRECL=4096) EDT DEFINE DATA LOCAL 1 B(B1) INIT<H'00'> END-DEFINE DEFINE WORK FILE 1 'CMWKF01' REPEAT WRITE WORK 1 B WHILE 1=1 END .E RUN FIN /*
In the SMARTS startup JCL, add the following statements:
// DLBL APSPFS1,'your.pfs.file.name',0,DA // EXTENT SYSvrs,volume,... // ASSGN SYSvrs,DISK,VOL=volume,SHR
In the SMARTS SYSPARM file, add the following
statements (where vrs or
vr represents the relevant product
version):
RESIDENTPAGE=NCFvrAPS
CDI_DRIVER=('CIO,PAANCIO')
CDI=('PFS1,PAANPFS,CACHESIZE=2000,LRECL=4096,CONTAINER=CIO://DD:APSPFS1')
MOUNT_FS=('PFS1://','/usr/')
ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES=/SAGLIB/APSvrs/ENVARS.P
Create a member ENVARS.P under
SAGLIB.APSvrs containing the following
lines:
NAT_WORK_ROOT=/usr/natural/etc/work_file NAT_PRINT_ROOT=/usr/natural/etc/print_file NCFWFAPS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
NCFWFAPS_TRACE_LEVEL=31
may be used for diagnostic purposes. It causes all PFS accesses to be traced by
Natural and to be written to the Web I/O Interface server data set
STDOUT. It is recommended to set the
NCFWFAPS_TRACE_LEVEL parameter value to zero.
SMARTS now should protocol the following line in
SYSLST during startup:
APSPSX0050-SYSNAME CDI PFS1 PROTOCOL INITIALIZED
Once your Natural Web I/O Interface server installation has been completed, issue a Map Environment command to the Natural Web I/O Interface server, using the following session parameter:
WORK=((1),AM=SMARTS)
The following Natural program should run and display Record 01:
0010 DEFINE DATA LOCAL 0020 1 A(A20) 0030 END-DEFINE 0040 A := 'Record 01' 0050 WRITE WORK 1 A 0060 CLOSE WORK 1 0070 READ WORK 1 A 0080 WRITE A 0090 END-WORK 0100 END
